Jason Aldean graduated to undeniable superstar status this year, with the overwhelming success of his 'Night Train' album and his sold-out Night Train Tour, which saw him perform his first stadium gigs.

Luke Bryan also took his career up a notch this year, with his new album, 'Crash My Party,' debuting at No. 1 across all genres, while Blake Shelton earned both commercial and critical success with his latest, 'Based on a True Story...'

Florida Georgia Line have gone from virtual unknowns to record-setting mega-stars in the last year, while Taylor Swift continues to dominate across all genres with her 'Red' album and tour.
